Divergence - End of Line · 3:00pm Mar 1st, 2020

Well, here we are again. We’ve reached the end of Divergence and the end of the Crystal Ball Trilogy.

It’s time for another post-script. I’m going to take a few moments to talk about Divergence’s development, especially since so much happened both in the writing itself and in real life during its time. I’ve so much that I could and want to talk about.

There are, obviously, major unmarked spoilers ahead. You’ve been warned!

Divergence - An Essay on Consensus and its Relation to the Greater Reflections Multiverse · 9:39am Feb 27th, 2020

So I wanted to take a little bit of time to examine the events of Consensus within the broader scope of the greater multiverse that I’ve somewhat built up. This discussion attempts to contextualize Consensus in the context of Reflections, which is the multiverse-hopping story which I wrote between Substitute and now.

Feedback - Important gif that shows ball behavior · 5:45pm Jan 31st, 2020

This is a bit of a random one, but I was browsing through my daily memes and I came across this gif that perfectly shows what would happen if you held the crystal ball and rotated it in your hands or whatever. I just had to share this. This is perfect.

Divergence - Draft Complete · 8:42pm Jan 21st, 2020

I just did it.

After two years of on and off work, I've completed the draft for Divergence. And with this, I've completed the trilogy, my pride and joy, which I started so long ago. The final comes in at 114.5k words (slightly less than Substitute). This might change because edits have to happen, and there are things I might clean up between now and when everything is fully published.

Divergence - A deleted scene · 6:41am Jan 21st, 2020

So I'm looking through my notes and getting the last bits together. And I found a scene that I had written quite a while ago, sometime before I actually wrote chapter nine. I had originally written this scene to explain one of the big things in the story, but I ended up writing a fairly simple version for chapter nine. As such, I ended up not using this scene in the story; if I had, I probably would have put it into chapter ten.

Naturally, there are spoilers ahead. You have been warned.

Divergence - Epic · 3:15pm Jan 8th, 2020

So, a few days ago, without me really realizing it, I reached a milestone. I've gotten into a really good flow with these last bits of the story (seriously, the hardest subplot is now completely done and over with and literally everything else is smooth sailing stuff that's been pretty firm in my head since forever ago), so much so that I lost track of some things. I'm extremely happy right now.

Divergence - We are coming back · 5:07am Dec 31st, 2019

Hey all!

I've been very silent as of late. But I've also been working on many things. This includes some level design projects that I needed to revisit, working on things for Dungeons and Dragons (since I am homebrewing an entire campaign, after all), visiting family, doing things for school... and making progress on my various writing projects.

State of the Author - August 2019 · 3:22pm Aug 2nd, 2019

Hi all!

I’ve been rather quiet here on fimfiction recently. The truth of the matter is that I’ve been spending time away from writing ponyfic recently. I would contend that, aside from a couple hundred words toward Retrograde, I haven’t written any pony words since the last publication for Divergence. You might be asking yourself why.
